I doubt that any road-legal car generates signficant down force at speeds much below about 100mph due to the dire effect it has on fuel consumption. What about the sports cars which have retractable rear spoilers that pop up at, say, ~75mph? No idea. But if they do generate appreciable down force then they'll also cause significant drag and you'll see that in the fuel economy.
